I also prefer 5.1 DTS-HD from my Oppo 205 with balanced stereo analog to an Ayre KX-5 Twenty preamp. The setting is down-mixed stereo. For SACDs and CDs, I much prefer my Ayre C-5xeMP.

Blu-ray Audio 2.0 LPCM vs. 5.1 DTS-HD
I have a conventional two speaker setup. Yet, on Naxos BD’s the 5.1DTS-HD option sounds much better, more detailed and open, than the 2.0LPCM.
I find with other record companies the sound of the options vary as to what sounds better.
I thought the 5.1 was designed for a multi-speaker surround setup.
Can anyone explain what’s going on?
